A FRENCH STONEWARE TWO-HANDLED LARGE VASE BY PIERRE-ADRIEN DALPAYRAT

Vases of this monumental size would have been technically very challenging and expensive for Dalpayrat to produce and thus surviving examples of such large size are very rare. An even larger pair, of differing form but measuring two metres high were shown at the 1900 Paris Exposition and are now in the collection of the Petit Palais [PPO3672 and PPO3672].
